It is official: Bangalore becomes Bengaluru

 

BENGALURU: Yes, what you just read is the new name of Karnataka's capital. From today, Bangalore and 11 other cities have new nomenclature. The state government issued a notification to the effect on Friday evening. The renaming coincides with the Kannada Rajyotsava celebrations.

Bangalore is the latest city to have its name changed. Bombay became Mumbai in 1995 after a 40-year struggle; Madras changed to Chennai in 1996; Calcutta to Kolkata in 2001; Trivandrum to Thiruvananthapuram in 1991; Pondicherry to Puducherry in 2006; Poona to Pune in 2008; and Orissa to Odisha in 2011.

While the names of the 12 cities will change, institutions like the University of Mysore are expected to retain their original names.

Belgaum had unofficially become Belagavi much before the official notification. The local administration had ensured that a majority of boards — in Kannada — called the city Belagavi.

Renaming of cities was mooted nine years ago, but the UPA government put it on the back burner. The suggestion came from Jnanpith awardee UR Ananthamurthy. He urged then chief minister N Dharam Singh, in 2005, to rename Bangalore to mark Karnataka's golden jubilee celebrations. Even as Singh readily agreed, demands from other districts cropped up, making it a list of 12 cities.
